Chapter 638
Esme, who was pretending to be Britney, had the urge to cast aside all relations she had with Peter!
“Britney, tell me honestly. Once I know how you think, I can help you.” Barbara tried to guide
her.
Esme swallowed and the words were just at the tip of her tongue. She wanted to say yes. No matter whether she
was Britney or Esme, the person she wanted to love was Conrad!
“Barbara, actually I…”
“Britney.”
Suddenly, a voice made Esme freeze.
At the door, Peter was carrying a large bouquet of lilies and he looked as gentle as jade.
However, the moment Esme saw his unfathomable gaze, her heart shuddered.
“What are you all talking about?” Peter pretended to ask casually.
Barbara looked at the person in question and wanted to ask whether Britney no longer liked him, but this was truly
not quite good timing.
“Britney, if there is anything, just tell your sister properly, there’s no need to be nervous.” Peter appeared to be
kind as he spoke.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEsme lowered her head, regaining the attitude that Britney ought to have.
“Barbara, you’ve misunderstood. I’m still the same as in the past. Toward people or toward things, I’m still the
same.”
She gritted her teeth secretly. She could not anger Peter, so she could only find another chance to persuade
Barbara to support her!
Fia carried a full tote bag as she walked into the ward.
Conrad, who was lying in bed, immediately got up. “You’re here.”
Fia swept him a glance. “I said I would return. Would I lie to you?”
“My heart feels like its suspended mid-air when I don’t see you,” Conrad said with a serious expression.
Fia swept him another glance. “Wash your hands and prepare to have lunch.”
“Alright.” Conrad got into a position of getting off the bed.
“Sit on the bed. I’ll go get the water.” After she finished speaking, she disappeared into the bathroom.
Silas, who was sitting by the side, placed the lunchbox properly in an agile manner and automatically shut out the
lovey-dovey stuff his CEO decided to say to his missus.
Conrad raised his brow and no longer moved. He went toward Silas and asked softly, “Did anyone make things hard
for her?”
Silas shook his head.
“Who did she meet at the company?”
“Madam Barbara.”
“What did the two of them talk about?”
“Madam didn’t let me listen in.”
Conrad’s gaze turned cold and sharp.
Silas immediately said in an attempt of salvation, “Don’t worry. Madam didn’t get angered. It was Madam Barbara
who was angered. It was my first time seeing Madam Barbara’s face like that!”
Seeing Fia bringing a basin of water over, Conrad stopped questioning Silas.
Fia was quick with her hands and feet. After helping Conrad to wash his hands, she used at towel to wipe them dry.
“I’ll pour away the water. Eat first.”
“I’ll pour it away!” Silas grabbed the basin of water and went to the bathroom.
He did not wish to stay behind and be interrogated by his CEO like a criminal.
Conrad held Fia and came before the table. “Let’s eat together.”
The dishes and everything had already been set properly by Silas.
The meat, vegetables, and soup were all very nicely coordinated, down to the color. However, none of them
contained chili. It was Fia who had given instructions to Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley not to put in any chili in their
meals in the future.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad took a look at the dishes. “Aren’t these dishes unsuited to your palate?”
“Not at all! Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley have very good cooking skills!” As Fia spoke, she picked up a vegetable and
stuffed it into her mouth. “Mmm, yummy!”
Conrad looked at her speechlessly. Since young, she had always liked strong flavors. Even when they went out for
snacks or something light, she always needed extra chill and vinegar depending on the food.

Silas walked out of the washroom and prepared to quietly sneak away.
Conrad said, “Silas, go to the supermarket and get a bottle of chili sauce.”
Silas looked at Fia. “Alright, I’ll go now.”
“It’s not necessary. I can eat this.” Fia almost felt like crying.
Although the dishes that Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley had made were nice, and the original taste of the food had a
hint of sweetness and the soup was very fresh, to people who liked
spicy food, it was indeed a little hard to swallow.
She felt that even the food before her did not smell fragrant.
However, if the two of them were to live their entire lives together, didn’t she have to cut off the chili and eat more
bland foods with him?
